Business Credit Financing: EIN or DUNS number

[Michael Evans]

Hi everyone,

Do banks use your EIN, DUNS number, or both for business financing? Also, can you use one or the other? I have an American Express Business credit card for my LLC which was setup with my EIN and backed with my SSN. However, I would like to finance a business auto loan in my LLC name in order to help further build up my business credit. My end goal is to establish enough business credit to get approved for some business lines of credit.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike
